The old ships sure look horrible compared to these new models, CCP should start redoing the old models. :) ------

looking at the caldari one looks like it should hold 3 ravens np, just going by the scale on that screenshot a raven is ~1 million m3
meh
being able to haul bs would be nifty
in general those new models look ace gallente one is a bit odd need to get the amarr one and jettison lots of baby impairors can't really tell much about the minmatar one since its just a sideshot caldari one is clearly a fake tbh not enough blue flashing lights and random sticks coming out :>
any chance of some videos of a flyby of each of these ships just to get the general feel, not just a static picture of one camera angle :/

The Minmatar and Caldari ones look so hott, I want one just to show it off. I love sandcrawlers; they're probably my favorite Star Wars vehicle. As for the Caldari one, I think it looks like the Turanic raider carrier from Homeworld. The Amarrian one looks like a gigantic Sigil flying backwards...

I have a question, though. These things are GIGANTIC. How do they look docking and undocking from stations?...

Edited by: Selim on 31/03/2005 17:12:26 Well, no. Lets hope they don't make them impossible to kill.
Combined with instajumps and jump drives these things will be, at the current rate.
The models are awesome, though, except the gallente one, that one is just ugly.

I'll betcha they're nowhere near impossible to kill. The trick would be finding it. I love to guess, so here goes.
When you have a jumpdrive, you have to have fuel. When you want to plot a jump, you open up the map and a circle (sphere, I suppose) will show up showing you all the systems you have the fuel to jump to. Pick one. Once you have it picked, you close the map, and activate the jumpdrive. But the problem will be that it will take several minutes for the drive to spin up and for the jump to be plotted. During that time, a covert ops frig with probes could find you. If you start taking damage, the timer will increase or maybe reset. When you make a successful jump, you'll end up in a random location within that system, so the hunting will begin again.
There's my guess. Any others? ---

I think you missunderstood this, certently they wil be able to fly where ever you want them to. But Freighters can only load or unloade there cargo while docked (I hope they also can load stuff to POS).
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I was just thinking they were going to be like the "interbus" that had been mentioned some time ago but never appeared
I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it... |

Kill one, kill a regional economy or an entire corporation.
I would encourage players to use these to move out to 0.0 and populate it quickly, but not to move junk from place to place in low-sec empire. It'll be tempting to do it because of the low fuel cost, but if Jump Drive can be scrambled these things will be the prisonb0tches of low-sec. "You Griefer!!!" = "You Doodyhead!!!" |

I just hope they have defenses on par with their size - Even if those defenses are based solely on enormous pools of shield/armor/structure. . .

Omg the Gallente ship is orgasmic Such a turn on. :P but the best thing for me will be moving minerals...I mine 10 jumps from my factory...so transporting millions of minerals takes many trips.. this will be soooo nice to make it soooo much easier :)
Love these...I def will be getting 1

If they do; please start with minmatar...

I think it was stated by a dev somewhere that they would be defendABLE. On their own, they get pwned, but they can last under fire long enough for escorts to kill anything attacking them.
I'm guessing they have NO turret/missile slots though.

I like the Gallente one.
I think the angles are chosen to make them seem more massive then they are though.
Still theyre quite large, but still about the proper ratio for modern day Battleships and superfreightors.
I hope they don't go buckwild with the BFS and keep carriors and dreadnoughts only 2 and 1.5 times a BS size respectively.
Methinks that the frieghters might get size reduced because of station exiting, or they;kk have a special graphic of being docked outside the station (Not that anyone else would see that, it would likely just replace the sitting in station screen on the client with a Sitting docked screen).

Am I the only person who thinks the Dominix looks more like a Sandcrawler than anything else? (Thought that the first time I ever saw a Dom.)

As for the Gallente freighter it really looks teriible in comparison to the rest. Cool as it still is just for sheer size it is still fugly. Of course, I have only the frontal view so maybe it is better from the sides or the rear but now it looks like a slightly spiffier version of a box.
That said I am sure I will buy one as soon as I am able.

Rather than redoing all the stations they could simply add specific stations where the Freighters will be able to dock. Like a freighter depot for example, which ofcourse will be specifically designed to cater for the freighters needs. _____________________________________________

My brother says it turns like a pregnant whale.
On the issue of freighters... cant wait to get them... it will mean headquarters can be shifted easily to better locations without upsetting life too much.
I roleplay... there is this computer game called "Earth - The First Genesis" where i play a character in the early 21st century. |

Edited by: Samurai Pumpkin on 01/04/2005 04:35:19 I read somewhere that it will take 10m3 of Megacyte to activate the jump drive on the freighters, and each rank of Jump Drive Operation allows the user to jump 1 additional system for a maximum of 6 systems at jump drive 5. Can anybody confirm this?
